When I lived in France, for a good part of the time we lived on a Peniche just outside of Paris while we built our first boat. After we launched Loose Moose we lived next to one of the French Movie studios in Joinville-le-Pont. Our years on the canals gave us something of a taste for the canals and I just cannot envision a boat that would not allow us to spend a bit of time on the canals when the desire for a bit of fresh water cruising seemed like the thing to do...

The problem of course with multihulls is simply that they are too wide for the locks which allow you to travel from one end of Europe to the other...

A lot of folks don't quite get the appeal... but here is something that may give you an idea of just how special the canals can be!
